Police are looking for three men wanted on charges in relation to a September kidnapping in East Vancouver.

Twenty-six-year-old Ellwood Thomas Bradbury, 33-year-old Matthew Scott Stewart, and 26-year-old Erlan Lizandro Acosta are all wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for kidnapping and aggravated assault.

On Sept. 17, just before 10 p.m., police were called to an address on Dieppe Place near Dieppe Drive. When they entered the home, officers found one man and one woman who were both dead. Vancouver Police say their deaths are being treated as a homicide investigation.

The two homicide victims were identified as 24-year-old Xuan Vanvy Bacao and 29-year-old Samantha Le.

Evidence gathered by investigators showed that along with the double homicide, a man had also been kidnapped from the home.

Police were able to rescue the kidnapping victim two days later, and three men were charged and are still in custody.
